INTRODUCTION Literature often refers to written materials, hence oral literature, which is not documented in written form, does not fall under this category (Regassa & Mitiku, 2024; Mayer, 1997) . Literature encompasses wellestablished literary forms, including poetry, fiction, playwriting, and literary criticism,(King, 2021) . Nevertheless, the concept of literature can be expanded to encompass other mediums in addition to traditional written forms, according to Mayer (1997) . Literature and movies are profound artistic manifestations of the human intellect (Agrawal, 2024) . Though film and literature are distinct forms of expression, both share a common purpose: to cultivate generosity within the realm of human imagination and comprehension, (Fasikh, 2021) . In this broader context, Hornby (1995) defined a movie also known as a movie as a tale or related material preserved as a sequence of moving pictures. These moving images are meant to be seen in a theatre or on TV. As Sharjeel and Dadabhoy (2013) noted that there are numerous categories of movie, including horror, comedy, drama, action, and documentaries. The consumption of movie may serve a variety of purposes, including entertainment, education, and the acquising of new insight and emotions. Movie exerts a profound influence on our lives, inspiring people to become better individua
